Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=Gabacho;2741010]Davivienda, Caja Social, and BBVA are fee free [/QUOTE]As other reviewer have mentioned, BBVA now charges 15 mil per transaction for cash withdrawals. Upper limit is still 300 mil. Just heads up.

[QUOTE=Gabacho;2741010]Bancolombia charges a fee of 22 k COP per transaction and they let you pull more than 400 k, I can't remember how much I want to say 900 k maybe.[/QUOTE]600 K because that was exactly how much they tried to steal from me.

I went to Davivienda on LA 70 this morning and withdrew money from the ATM. All money was 100 mil notes. I went inside the bank to exchange the 100's. They would only exchange 500 mil, and they gave me all 50 mil notes. It is difficult enough for merchants to accept 50 mil, almost impossible for taxis. I never imagined I would have problems spending money, but it's happening.

[QUOTE=ShadowGuy22;2740978]Hello all,

Heading to Medellin on Sunday and I got a lot of good information from this group. A lot of great contributors and too many to list but thank you all and I definitely owe a couple people a drink.

I went the facbook route, hoping to meet some non-pros and semi-pros, and I have a couple girls lined up for next week.

Would also appreciate if anyone could share some confirmed FB leads as all mine are hypothetical.

Also I'll be in Medellin for a month so if anyone wants to connect, just send me a PM.[/QUOTE]I found many of my FB leads SWing near the Park Ileras and giving me the same prices. So for me, FB has not been non-pros or semi-pros. My source of FB leads began with someone else's FB friend list. YMMV.

A little common sense goes a long ways.

[QUOTE=PigSavinBoy;2741167]What time did you visit?[/QUOTE]Like 6:15, paola is probably the most popular girl there and is usually booked all day, I figured I was lucky to get her but alas.

Sessioned with a regular today, samantha from dulce compania. Classic sexy paisa look.

She's a pro, been there for a year at least, recommend.

And funlovr, go to the casinos in centro and they will give you change. That's my go to. Just act like you're ready to gamble and go to the money window.

I usually give them 300 k in 50 k notes and ask for 20 k notes back, or 10 k if possible.

No problem. Also on the ATM discussion, I have found colpatria / scotiabank to be the best. There is an ATM right next to parque berrio. 900 k at a time and good conversion rate.

All,

I will be in Medellin from Sept 27 to October 2 (5 Days). Short, but looking to tick a couple boxes. This announcement is to see if anyone is interested in either or both of these two things:

- Lunch.

** I've met other mongers in Medellin on previous trips and had lunch with them. There is a good steak place on Carrera 70 that I would recommend and would be open to meeting and eating at another recommendation.

** Would aim to have a handshake, trade stories, and tips on locations of girls as we all have our habits that we prefer.

- Provenza.

** I've gone solo through Provenza and never stopped for a sit and a beer there. The place looks too damn nice, too social to keep passing up, but I do not want to do that solo. Provenza does not emit the vibe to easily allow for a solo gringo to sit at a table by himself with a beer, so looking for a wingman to simply chill with.

That's it. If anyone is up for one or both, message me.

As for me, I'm exceptionally normal. No anxiety issues, no prescriptions, no drugs. Just a beer and occasional cigarette from the street vendors.

There are definitely nonpros and semipros on Facebook. It's a social networking site that normal people use to socialize with friends and family. That's why I like Facebook and have never tried Seeking Arangements or Colombian Cupid. Your luck on Facebook will depend on how interested normal Colombian girls are on friending you or responding to your friend requests. That's going to be based on the quality of your profile, including your own photos, looks etc, as well as some time. Only prepagos, and maybe not even all of them, are going to friend you if you don't have your own photos on your profile. You also generate more interest with regular stories and posts. I like the stories feature as likes are private and the posts delete themselves after 24 hours. More normal girls will want to be your friend if you are relatively handsome, have interesting photos just like on dating apps and social media in the US or Europe. That being said, I think you don't need to be nearly as handsome, interesting etc, in Colombia as you would in the US or Europe to generate a good deal of interest. I've had some luck using Facebook for dating nonpros and semipros in Medellin as I've written about in some of my previous posts. I've also mentioned some of the signs I look for to identify a nonpro profile on Facebook.

I wanted to get advice on the mileroticos chicks. I message them on whatsapp and they have apartments. I am worried of getting drugged if I go to their place. I was thinking to rent a hotel and tell them to come to me. Another option is having them come to my airbnb but I don't think that's a good idea in terms of safety. Or should I go to their apartment? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

[QUOTE=DonMedellin;2741170]As other reviewer have mentioned, BBVA now charges 15 mil per transaction for cash withdrawals. Upper limit is still 300 mil.

And by recently I mean like 3 days ago.

However I have a suspicion that this could vary depending on what bank you use and if they have an agreement with BBVA or not. I use Capital One, what's in your wallet? LOL.

I'm in Medellin now, but flying of to Cartagena for 3 nights. I don't need to bring all my stuff with me. Is there any sort of short term temporary storage service? I was thinking about just grabbing something cheap off of airbnb.

I've had the Marriott and Sheraton hold pieces of luggage (nothing too expensive, just clothes and toiletries) for weeks at a time.

It was fine both times, but I recommend having a Whatsapp call with them. Both of them looked different than their pics on the site.

If they were robbing and/or drugging people there, the word would get out and they would no longer be making a living. Hundreds of people a week go to the apartments and I haven't heard of anyone being harmed. If you pick up a chica from the Park Lleras area, you will be rolling the dice on your safety because you won't know anything about that chica. You will have an address and an image of the chica in an apartment so you will have some recourse if something goes wrong.

Public parking lots will store luggage for you at a very low daily cost. As another poster advised, you should not entrust valuables to unknown parties.
